PROBLEM-SOLVER SHOWCASE

PROBLEM: Our community is building a new trail, and we need low-maintenance benches that can be permanently secured.

SOLUTION: Plastic Recycling of Iowa Falls now offers an in-ground version of its popular 100-percent-recycled-plastic Rock Island Bench. Designed to be buried into the ground for a more permanent installation, the benches not only offer added security, but they also will not splinter or rot, and do not require any painting or staining year after year, making them virtually maintenance-free.

PROBLEM: We operate in one leased building and have several multi-use spaces. We're looking for a synthetic turf surface that can be removed, rather than a permanent installation.

SOLUTION: Kodiak Sports can produce your next synthetic turf field with Velcro seams for easy installation and portability, and for a lower cost than a glue-down installation. Velcro seams are available on your next turf purchase for as little as 22 cents per square foot.

PROBLEM: Patrons have been complaining about smelly, sweaty and greasy residue on our workout machines.

PROBLEM: We want an aesthetic, rock-like climbing wall, but we're short on space, budget and climbing expertise.

SOLUTION: Nicros-Easy Wall panels are molded from real rock, but at just 2 inches thick, they take up almost no space when bolted to an existing wall. Weighing around 40 pounds, the panels install quickly, and the special urethane can be cut and drilled for custom installations. When installed two panels high, there's no need for ropes or other equipment, just standard gymnastic mats.

PROBLEM: We have difficulty getting bleacher seating where and when we need it.

SOLUTION: The Speedy Bleacher system by Kay Park Recreation is highway-towable, push-button-operated and folds with hydraulics. The unit's simplistic design allows you to move it around town for parades, viewing stands and sporting events where seating other than normal fixed seating is needed.

PROBLEM: We need to resurface our tennis court, and we want to go with a high-performance solution.

SOLUTION: SportMaster has been providing tennis court owners with premium-quality surfacing products and outstanding technical service and support for more than 25 years. The company brings science and advanced technology to the tennis court surface, resulting in a system of tennis court surfacing products that provides optimum performance for both player and surface.

PROBLEM: We'd like to use non-potable water for landscape irrigation, but we have exposed drinking fountains.

SOLUTION: Facilities that want to move to a more fiscally conscious irrigation scheme can be stymied by the need to protect drinking fountain bubblers from being sprayed with non-potable water. Haws' innovative EnviroGardTM bubbler provides a water-pressure-activated cover to encase the bubbler head, protecting it from outside exposure and contamination when not in use.

PROBLEM: Our old, carpeted gym floor is holding in moisture and dirt, causing horrible odors and mildew. How can we replace it?

SOLUTION: RB Athletic Flooring is superior, durable and easily cleaned. These products are aesthetically pleasing, easy to install and are offered in a variety of colors. They're effective for upgrading to a new look and feel for your interior workout area. RB Rubber Products manufactures with premium recycled rubber.
